Leonardo Dicaprio Deported in Indonesia After Critical Comments of the Palm Oil Industry

The Indonesian government has threatened to deport, award winning actor, Leonardo Dicaprio, after making critical statements about the country’s palm oil industry, according to The Guardian.

During a visit, Leonardo posted a photo to his Instagram explaining his environmental campaign organization, The Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation, with the help of local partners to establish a “mega-fauna sanctuary” in the Leuser rainforest ecosystem.

The photo captioned Leonardo’s statements that the rainforest ecosystems are, “considered one of the world’s best remaining habitat for the critically endangered Sumatran #elephant. In these forests, ancient elephant migratory paths are still used by some of the last #wild herds of Sumatran elephants.”

Unfortunately, based on oil plantations, mining, logging and other developments on the national park, “the Leuser ecosystem is last place on earth where orangutans, rhinos, tigers and elephants still live together in the wild, and it is currently being threatened by Palm Oil agricultural destruction”, reported by Just Jared.
